The regeneration of the Wolverton Agora is a long-held community aspiration, being central to Wolverton Neighbourhood Plan. Realising the regeneration and responding to the long-held Community aspiration has also been a priority for Milton Keynes City Council for many years. With this, the Council is investing over £70 million in the scheme.
The Council’s investment in the Agora site will deliver:
- Demolition of the Agora Centre and reinstatement of long-lost Radcliffe Street South to reconnect Church Street and the Square;
- 86 generously-sized new homes for rent, ranging from 1-bed flats to 4-bed family houses;
- An older people’s cohousing scheme with 29 homes for and with Still Green Cohousing;
- Nine new small shops to reinforce Wolverton’s independent retail culture;
- A new town-centre car park and publicly accessible WC, located adjacent to St. George’s Way;
- New car-free ‘little streets’ and a new pocket park – designed around retained London Plane trees – for all residents and visitors to Wolverton to use;
- A sustainable mobility hub for use by all local residents providing an electric car club, bike hire facility and a revamped bus stop on Church Street; and
- Public realm improvements to Church Street.
The Council is working in partnership with award-winning developer TOWN, which originated the Love Wolverton proposals, to support the delivery of the project. The Council have appointed John Graham Construction Ltd, who has recently built high-quality new homes for the Council at The Lakes.
